At MRO Asia Pacific in Singapore, Boeing and All Nippon Airways (ANA) announced two recent services agreements to support the ANA fleet:

• Boeing’s Landing Gear Exchange Program simplifies the contracting, scheduling and management of the landing gear overhaul process. Through this program, air carriers can quickly exchange landing gear that need to be repaired or overhauled with a replacement set of certified landing gear from a dedicated resource pool maintained by Boeing. This new agreement will provide for ANA’s 787-9 fleet; the airline had previously signed an agreement for a 787-8 exchange program. ANA is the largest 787 operator.
• Boeing’s Integrated Materials Management (IMM) services help maintain and manage an airline's spare parts inventory, providing items to the airline mechanic as needed. IMM provides demand planning, on-site personnel, and logistics services to optimize materials purchase, service levels and inventory costs. ANA’s renewal of the Integrated Materials Management service demonstrates the value and partnership provided through Boeing’s parts provisioning services.

“Boeing has been a valuable partner to ANA for many years, and we are pleased to further expand our partnership in the aftermarket through this expansion of the Landing Gear Exchange Program and IMM solutions,” said Yukifumi Ueda, Vice President and General Manager, Engine, Component & Supply Chain, ANA. “We would like to contribute to the safe operation of our passengers through a robust parts supply.”

“ANA is the largest 787 Dreamliner operator in the world, and we’re committed to ensuring we are able to support them with the services they need, when they need it,” said William Ampofo, Senior Vice President, Parts & Distribution and Supply Chain. “We appreciate their confidence and trust in us to continue delivering the services they need to operate their fleet with efficiency and reliability.”
